Many people are annoyed by the recent influx of calling everything "AI".

Machine learning, statistical models, procedural generation, literally an usage of heuristics are all being called "AI" nowadays which obfuscates the "boring" nature in favor of "exciting buzzword"

Selecting the quality of a video based on your download speed? That's "AI" now.



On the other hand, it means that you can assume anything mentioning AI is overhyped and probably isn't as great as they claim. That can be slightly useful at times.


im quite tired of this. every snake oil shop now calls any algorithm "a i" to sound hip and sophisticated

Yes, that was the reason for my comment. :)
